MISS GOULD NOT ENGAGED.
The Story Started By uaif-Crazed
and infatuated Crank.

The Story Started By n uaif-CraZed
ana Infatuated Crank.
The reported engagement Of Miss Nellie
Gould to Mr.. j. NJ. Iraber Of West Virginia
is vigorously denicd la the New York
Graphic by her father, Mr. Jay Gould, and
also by her brother, George Gould. Tue
facts are about these:
Some months since a man named j. VI.
Truber called at MIR. George Gould's oflce
in the Western Union building and sent In
letter OF Introduction purporting to come
from MIR. Frederick Gebhart. Tue man
wanted a situation on some railroad, but
certain peCuliaItics about the letter he
presented led Mr.. Gould to believe that Mr.
Gebhart had never wIitten IT.; and, iu fact,
1t became clear before Traber left the office
that he had written 1t himself, and Mr.
Gould dismissed him very suddenly, and
Tor time dropped him out Of his rcCullec-
lion. 1t was shortly afterwar1, however,
that The family began to be pgsteTel
and annoyed In the same way that otbtr
families OF wealth and position have suf.
iored In this city ut the hands Of some un.
considerable crank. Traber went away from
New York, and every now and then he
would secure laudatory notice OF himself
In some back country newspaper, and mail
the marked copy to Miss Gould. Occa-
sl0nally lie spent an extra dollar on box
of candy or some fruit, and shipped the Of
fering to the family address. OF course
everything that came from him was
promptly consigned to the waste basket,
and the young lady, as much as possi
Bile, saved from all knowledge OF
the antics OF this fellow, who was doing his
best in the meantime to annoy her mother
by sending articles In her care. This latest
paragraph is another evidence OF his audac-
ity and Of his distracted Imagination. In
SO far as can be ascertained this man Traber
has never seen Miss Nellie Gould, and the
announcement OF the alleged approaching
nuptials has no other foundation than the
emanations OF the fellows crazy brain.
